What to Do to Prepare for Your Liver Transplant

If you are approved as a living donor, you will work with the transplant team to schedule a date for your transplant.

Once the surgery is scheduled, you and your recipient will come for an appointment the day before surgery.
You and your recipient will meet in the same room, at the same time, along with your family or loved ones.

This appointment will last about one to two hours.
The transplant surgeon will:

Review the surgery

Get consent forms

Answer any last-minute questions

Instructions will be given about when to stop eating and drinking before surgery.

Once this appointment is over, you will leave and will come back to be admitted early in the morning on the day of surgery.
